How to choose a TV remote control case: universal models

Периферия

Often, silicone cases help the remote to last longer and make it more enjoyable to use. There are both universal covers, and suitable only for one model. The cost of the accessory varies from 150 to 800 rubles. The price depends on the material, quality and model.

Why do you need a case for the remote control

With the help of a case, you will protect your remote from unnecessary scratches, damage and rapid wear, because the main purpose of this accessory is protection. But many of them can not only extend the life of the device, but also make it more convenient to use. With a case, the TV remote can fit better in your hand and feel better.

What functionality

Here it is already worth analyzing with specific examples. Functionality may vary depending on the type, manufacturer, etc. For example, the case for LG TV remote control suitable for models: AN-MR600 / LG AN-MR650 / LG AN-MR18BA / AN-MR19BA / AN-MR20GA, has a backlight function in the dark and prevents the device from slipping, for a more comfortable and firm grip. If you are interested in buying a case, then look at specific models based on the model of your TV.

Case types

In addition to the silicone products mentioned above, there are also film, heat shrink and leather products. They differ in price, quality and convenience. Probably the best option would still be silicone, because of the ease of use and availability, but someone would be better off shrinking with film.

Shrink cover for the remote control [/ caption] Shrink cover inherently works in the same way as a film cover, but with an important nuance. With this case, you don’t have to worry about size matching. As you can understand from the name “thermoshrinkable” after exposure to a certain temperature, it fits snugly to the remote control. So all you need is a hair dryer. After placing the device in the case, you need to turn on the hair dryer and use it to adjust the accessory to the device. It takes quite a bit of time. Conventional film packaging is the cheapest and most inconvenient option. It is not as nice and comfortable as silicone and does not fit snugly to the remote as heat shrink. Using one might only be a good idea if you don’t use the remote often and don’t want to spend a lot of money on a case. Leather case fits if you have to use the remote control a lot and you want to provide it with maximum protection against damage and dirt. This type is more expensive and may not be very comfortable (depending on the model), but it will last longer than any other cases and provide the highest level of protection. You can also find plastic accessories to protect the remote control. An example of a regular film:

They are the cheapest, but with infrequent use of the remote control, such a shell can last for a long time. Only protection it provides is minimal and ease of use is not worth waiting for. Suitable only for those who rarely use the remote control. Taking into account these recommendations, you can choose the right cover for the remote control.

How to make a case for the remote control with your own hands

Plastic types of covers are easily made at home. Of course, you can put on an ordinary cellophane shell or use the packaging from the remote control, but for reliability it is better to make a plastic case. There is nothing difficult in the process. You’ll need:

  1. Soldering iron or iron.
  2. Ruler.
  3. Plastic office bag.

Measure the dimensions of the remote control and mark them on the package. Stepping back a centimeter from the edge of the file, start soldering according to the marked dimensions. After you need to put a cover on the remote control and hold a soldering iron on its edge, after pressing the end of the remote control with a ruler. If you do not have a soldering iron at home, then it is best to use an iron. In this case, you need to place the remote immediately in the corner of the package, so that it is approximately 2 cm from the top and bottom. Iron the edges with an iron, the temperature should be about 200 degrees. Extra edges can be cut off. This is where the production of the cover ends, when this one wears out, it will be easier to make the same one.
